After washing up, someone led Nanzhi to the flower hall.
Newly arrived girls need to undergo training before they can serve people.
Although Nanzhi said she knew that day, Chunjianglou has its own rules.
The teacher in charge of Nanzhi was a very beautiful woman with red lips and white teeth, but her face had a touch of melancholy.
Upon closer inspection, it even bears a resemblance to Lin Daiyu.
"Sister, why are you here?" Nanzhi asked.
Liu Rushi glanced at Nanzhi and said, "Why are you asking these questions? Just focus on your studies."
Nan Zhi: "I think my sister should be a lady from a respectable family, and shouldn't be here."
Every smile and gesture of hers exuded the grace and poise of a young lady from a prominent family, a quality she had seen in Lin Feiyan before.
Liu Rushi paused for a moment, then said, "Miss, let's begin learning."
A maid handed her a pipa, which Liu Rushi took and held in her arms.
He played a tune while looking towards the doorway.
"Excellent craftsmanship!" Nanzhi praised.
Such skill cannot be mastered in less than ten or eight years.
Liu Rushi nodded her thanks, "Next, you will be learning the pipa."
Nanzhi looked at the pipa in her hands and casually plucked a few strings. "Sister, what if I can't learn it?"
For some reason, the girl in front of her made Liu Rushi, who was usually cold-hearted, feel a little bit of affection for her.
"If you learn it, you won't need to go into the meat-selling business."
Presumably, this is how she managed to stay here.
After studying for two hours, Nanzhi's fingers were sore and weak, and her fingertips were covered with indentations from the pressure points.
Perhaps noticing the mottled marks on her hands, Liu Rushi put down her pipa and said, "That's enough for now. I'll learn again tomorrow."
“Wait,” Nanzhi tugged at her sleeve, “I feel a connection with you, sister. Why don’t we have a chat?”
Liu Rushi thought for a moment, then sat down again.
"Sister, how is life here?"
"Extremely extravagant."
Nanzhi: "Where are the people here?"
"With malicious intent."
"What does your sister want to do after she goes out?"
Liu Rushi's eyes flickered, then dimmed again.
"The way out seems far off, so I'd rather not think about it anymore."
"No, please," Nanzhi leaned forward. "If I can get you out of here, could you come to my restaurant as a musician? Don't worry, the pay will be good, and you only need to play for two or three hours a day."
The little girl's bright eyes seemed to remind her of her past glory.
“Okay,” he said, just to appease her, “If you can take me out, I’ll go to the restaurant you own.”
"Ahhh!" Nam-zhi screamed inwardly.
That's just fate!
Such a talent would be even more powerful if he were to join the No. 1 Restaurant in the world.
"Sister, do you have any other trustworthy people here?"
Liu Rushi introduced her to several other girls who were also musicians.
Thanks to Nan Zhi's silver tongue, she quickly built a good relationship with these people and they chatted happily.
"Oh dear, Sister Fan, I can't accept this. Why are you giving me this gold bracelet?"
"Sister, how could I possibly accept your jade ring?"
......
Liu Rushi shook her head; she hadn't seen these younger girls so happy in a long time.
Being here means you no longer have control over your own destiny; how long can a young girl's smile last?
If we're lucky, we might be able to take her from her mother and have her become a musician.
Outside Chunjiang Tower.
A group of guards surrounded Chunjiang Tower.
Lin Chengyi commanded, "Men, break through!"
Soldiers swarmed forward and opened the doors of Chunjiang Tower.
"Sir, there's no one on the first or second floor."
Lin Chengyi had already received the news: "Find the underground entrance, and be quick."
"yes!"
A short while later, the soldiers returned and indeed found an entrance.
Zhang Hongfu: "How did you know that Chunjiang Tower had a basement?"
Lin Chengyi was clutching the note in his hand when he woke up this morning and a dart landed on his doorstep.
The dart had the words "Spring River Tower is in trouble, the truth will be revealed in the underworld" written on it.
Whether you believe it or not, you should still bring people over to see for yourself.
I didn't expect there was actually something hidden there.
The madam looked down at the crowded people from upstairs. Chunjiang Tower had many exits, but only one main entrance. If they wanted to leave, they could only do so with her permission.
"Something terrible has happened!" The guards rushed over in a panic.
"Mom, the soldiers are here!"
The madam couldn't sit still any longer. "Quick, pack your things and come with me!"
Guard: "Where are those people at the gate?"
"What time is it? We absolutely cannot let the authorities find a pretext to force us to withdraw. We must leave immediately."
In a short time, Chunjiang Tower seemed to be in even more chaos.
With the guards gone, people rushed out of the gate in droves. The soldiers, who had intended to go in, were prevented from entering by the surging crowd.
Lin Chengyi immediately said, "Men, cordon off the entrance. Anyone coming out must register and await investigation by the authorities."
The young masters from noble families had come out without their families' knowledge, and they never expected that there would be government soldiers outside.
If this were discovered, it would bring shame upon our family and our ancestors.
They all kept their heads down, not daring to look up.
"Good heavens," Lin Chengyi said, looking at each one, "we've caught a big fish."
Zhang Hongfu added, "That's right, none of these people standing here are insignificant."
It must have taken a lot of effort for Chunjiang Tower to gather all these people together.
"My lord, all the managers of Chunjiang Tower have run away, leaving only some lackeys."
Lin Chengyi had anticipated this, but these people ran away too fast.
"Search carefully, find any secret passages you find."
When the soldiers entered, Nanzhi had already changed her clothes.
